Drake is no doubt celebrating his new double album, Scorpion. But many others, celebrities and plebeians alike, are also toasting the 6 God and his 25 tracks of Instagram-worthy summer captions. One of those is up-and-coming songwriter Billie Eilish, who has shared a cover of “Hotline Bling” in Drizzy’s honor.

Eilish has made “Hotline Bling” something of a setlist staple, performing it for audiences in Hollywood, Paris, and other cities. Her newly released studio cut — which features Eilish solo on a ukulele — retains a lot of the same fragile folk rock qualities as her live version, but with the added benefit of an intimate, quiet studio space.

“CONGRATS ON SCORPION DRAKE i luv u dad,” Eilish wrote in a tweet linking fans to the cover. Take a listen below.

Revisit a live version from February:

Eilish’s rendition was recorded in her home studio in Los Angeles this year. She previously released it on limited edition vinyl for Record Store Day.
